Mob of officers filmed beating Black Memphis inmate to death

Yesterday (March 2), surveillance video was released of correctional officers beating an inmate at Shelby County Jail in Memphis, Tennessee. The Black man on the receiving end, Gershun Freeman, died shortly after the altercation. Now, his family is calling for justice.


Freeman was arrested on Oct. 1, 2022 after his girlfriend accused him of domestic violence. He was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping. According to local news station Fox 13 Memphis, the footage was recorded on Oct. 5, 2022. In the clip, two guards attempt to bring Freeman a plate of food, but when they open his cell, he charges at them, full-force and completely naked. A struggle ensues, and within seconds, more correctional officers join in the fight, leaving the inmate severely outnumbered.
